A Relation Between the Flow Density and Flame Length in the Work Space of the Bath Smelting Furnace

Abstract

The article provides mathematical modelling results of radiation flow formation in the work space of the smelting (glassmaking, open-hearth) furnace with different heating patterns and flow distribution over the surface of the bath and enclosing structures. A significant influence of the flame length upon technical and economic parameters of furnace operation was found out.



Keywords: bath smelting furnace, glass-melting furnace, mathematical modelling, flame length, radiation flows, temperature field
